The Gift of Retreat – for birthdays, anniversaries or Christmas

Want to send your loved one on a yoga retreat but don’t know which they’ll like or when they can go? We offer gift certificates so that you don’t have to guess!

From €150 to €1000

What could be a nicer gift then the gift of relaxation & self-discovery. Giving a loved one a chance to reconnect with nature, with themselves & see the world with different eyes again.

This year we are offering the Gift of Retreat for anyone that would like to offer their loved ones a break from it all, a different type of holiday, a gift with soul & thought, a gift that will keep on giving back.

How it works:

You choose the amount you wish to offer as a gift and pay the total, starting from €150.

We send you a Gift Voucher by email personalised with your message for your friend / family member . Please let us know what you’d like to include in the message and their name. Your gift voucher will get to you inbox within a couple of hours from the booking.

They choose what dates they wish to come, the Gift voucher will apply to all our retreats for a 12 month period.

We contact them to book their stay. Any remaining balance they would have to pay depending on the dates and the length of stay they choose will be payable on arrival within the centre. We will deduct your Gift voucher from the total stay amount.

Here is an example of the gift voucher you will receive to give your loved one.

For example

You choose your gift to be the amount of €150 towards a stay at Akasha Wellness Retreat. Your friend chooses to book one of our 6 Day / 5 Night retreats as a Twin Sharing Room. Total rate will be €470 all inclusive for their stay, we deduct your gift and the new amount payable on arrival will be €320.

Why Retreat?

I am an oncology nurse and a few long time patients have died recently. I need to rejuvenate and return to my breath!
